Football is odd in the way polls decide so much. 

The polls decided nothing.  It all happened on the field.  Larry's Ball (aka, the Pac 12 Championship) is in Stanford's possession, not because of a poll but because the Cardinal beat UCLA.  Honestly, I don't care where Stanford is ranked.  No poll is going to change the fact that Stanford is going to the Rose Bowl and that I feel like doing the Snoopy happy dance every time I type "Stanford is going to the Rose Bowl."
